FORMER Leeds Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott has reportedly turned down a move to Super League club, Hull FC.
That’s according to Sky Sports reporter Jenna Brooks who, live on Sky Sports as Wigan Warriors took on Catalans Dragons last night, claimed that following Paul Rowley’s rejection of the Hull offer, the next man in line was McDermott.
However, Brooks claimed that McDermott “is very happy in the NRL with the Newcastle Knights” as the Black and Whites are forced to turn their attention elsewhere.
A number of bosses have been linked to the vacancy at the MKM Stadium, with Brisbane Broncos’ attacking coach Lee Briers one of those, alongside St George Illawarra Dragons assistant coach Dean Young.
Young has only been at the Dragons for a year after following Shane Flanagan to St George in a rebuild for the Red Vee.
Meanwhile, Briers has impressed greatly whilst with the Broncos, having helped Wigan Warriors to a Challenge Cup success in 2022.
